[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 94: Arrested

Chapter 94: Arrested

He Li’s eyes narrowed.

He looks at the young man with scrutiny and vigilance. What is he doing?

He Li walks closer to Qin An and looks at him. The young man is too focused on the sphere in front. Standing beside him made He Li take a full view of him. Seeing this made his eyes narrow. Even if what’s in front of him is virtual data, he can clearly see the temperament of this child.

And from what he heard, he is a minor?

What kind of a minor who’s standing stance is even more standard than his soldier in the barracks? And even when he was focused on something, his back was clearly on alertness.

It was not because he was wary but just a subconscious posture.

Wouldn’t this mean his environment requires him to keep a high vigil all the time that it’s already embedded in his body to be like this?

Aside from this... why do He Li feel he is familiar to him?

He clearly knew that this was the first time he saw him. He hasn’t even seen his picture and if not for Ji Wen who named him, he wouldn’t know.

But, what’s up with his oddly familiarity?

This sudden strange feeling made him even look at the young man sharply and the atmosphere around him turned colder than others were confused. Why does even the Marshal look strange suddenly? Did he notice something?

The latter who was not aware of everything around him sighs and looks at the sphere reluctantly. He seems to think about something and his eyes are obviously eager. However, they don’t understand what he wants at all.

Does he know something about the sphere? But it’s clearly just an ancient artifact, right?

And they were even more confused when in the next second, Qin An turn his back as if he heard something. The young man’s gaze became solemn but they still saw nothing.

"Is there something wrong with our camera?" Hou Jiaxu asked the staff. What if there’s really someone aside from the young man but they couldn’t see because it’s just virtual?

The staff shook his head. "Mr. Hou, there’s no problem. There’s really no one else besides this young man."

So they could only watch the young man stare at the air and he nodded as if he had already decided on something. Qin An looks at the sphere again and looks around again before he turns his back and walks away?

Wait— just walk away?

Everyone was speechless. After all the strange actions that he did, he just walked away?

"Maybe the young man is just really curious about the sphere and nothing else?" The staff reluctantly think about a reason.

Hou Jiaxu shook his head. That sounds unreasonable but they couldn’t think of any reason. Or maybe that’s just really it? Since the young man is walking away and didn’t do anything, there’s no need to look anymore—

"Wait." He Li’s eyes sharpened and took a step closer to the sphere. This made everyone pause and look at the Marshal heading. Why is the Marshal looking at it too? Did they notice something they don’t know about?

However, what happened next is just unexpected for them. Because just as they everyone stilled and subconsciously looked down but their eyes widened.

"!!!!"

The ordinary ball suddenly moves!

Out of nothing, the sphere slowly rolls down from the small platform. At first they thought that the ball moved accidentally yet when it was about to bump on the glass, the glass cover just slowly raised!

With no one touching, the glass cover raised so the sphere fell on the ground. It didn’t move for a few seconds until the sphere abruptly rolled fast that left them stunned.

"!!!"

"Q-Quick! Chase it!" Only did everyone come back to their senses and chase the rolling sphere.

"Someone will stay here and monitor!" Hou Jiaxu exclaimed and they ran outside to go to the area.

On the other side, Qin An knew he can’t do anything to get a sphere without a reason so he could only leave and trust the ghost behind.

He’s not sure whether the evil ghost will really do it but he could only hope for now. Qin An was planning to go back to the team because the ghost would send the sphere on the training camp to avoid disturbance.

Because the matter had already been decided, Qin An is half-relieved so for the next journey, his face isn’t cold and was just calmly doing things with others.

Even the trainees felt that his mood was finally at ease so just like He Yan, they tried to communicate with him again and unexpectedly, Qin An responded!

Just how much joy He Yan felt when Qin An was no longer like a walking ice cube! He even agreed to join a ride even when he was sitting beside him! He Yan really wanted to squeal in glee and the smile on his face was grinning widely like a fool again, as if the worries finally fades.

Looking at their smiles made Qin An sigh inside him.

It seems... that his decision is really the right thing to do.

It was already night when they went back to the camp. When others went to their room, Qin An went to the balcony and walked towards the corner where there’s no camera. He waited for a few minutes while silently looking at the scenery until he felt a thing bump on his feet.

Looking down, Qin An really saw the sphere so he heaved a sigh and picked it up.

He held the sphere in his hand and solemnly looked at the evil ghost.

"Thank you."

The ghost nodded. "You can help me, right?"

Qin An looked at the sphere in his hand and felt his heart beat with the faint familiarity inside his heart.

He whispers. "Yes."

From the moment he opens the gate, he will become who he was again and serve the world.

For a moment, Qin An’s moments as a human flash on his eyes and he sings with a little bit of melancholy. There’s no use of thinking about other things now.

His slender fingers caress the runes on the sphere. This is the key to the underworld. What is written as runes is the key to open the gate and only someone like them can tell what is written and even can speak those words. This is to protect the gate from other beings.

Qin An felt the cold breeze of the night slowly brushing on his cheeks as he stared intently on the sphere. Just as he made up his mind to speak the key, he heard some footsteps behind him.

He clenched the sphere and quickly turned his back. There, his eyes met someone that made him stunned.

A strange feeling arose inside him but before he could comprehend what it was, that man spoke with his cold voice.

"Arrest him."
